When it won The Australian/Vogel Prize, I was on my way. I’ve since written a collection of short stories Rosie Little’s Cautionary Tales for Girls and a work of non-fiction Housewife Superstar: The Very Best of Marjorie Bligh. “As well as writing, I lecture at UTAS. My work gives me the opportunity to do many of the things I love: read books, talk about books and, hopefully, encourage a new generation of writers. “Recently I’ve been working on the launch of a new series of postgraduate coursework opportunities for aspiring writers. As of 2012, UTAS will be offering a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Master of Arts (Creative Writing), which will enable students to get serious about writing their own full-length creative works.”

“I chose to study Visual Communication because I wanted to do something I loved, and because of the fantastic reputation of the UTAS . The course has been challenging, requiring discipline, hard work and commitment, but very rewarding. I love the freedom of uni, and of getting back what you put in and more. It prepares you well for the career ahead.”

“I enrolled at UTAS because it’s the perfect place to study marine and Antarctic sciences. Classes are small so you get to know lecturers and staff, which makes learning easier. There’s a rich pool of teaching talent, and the stimulating subject matter and Tasmanian examples make topics ‘real’ and not too theoretical.”
